Summary
Alex and Ellie said their Bristol blind date was warm and enjoyable, but both concluded there was no romantic spark by the end of the evening.
Alex gave the date 7.5 out of 10 and said he would meet Ellie again as friends, while Ellie scored it 8 but said she would not meet again.
Conversation ranged from work, travel and Bristol links to Japan, fitness and wine, with both describing each other as warm and easy to talk to.
Small mishaps — brittle crackers, dropped food and a near-spilled wine — added awkward moments, and the night ended with only a friendly kiss on the cheek.
The pair dined at Pasta Ripiena in Bristol in the Guardian's long-running Blind Date column, which matches strangers for dinner and post-date interviews.
